We transform children’s faces, and we renew their lives.

What if your child were among the one in every five- hundred kids around the world who are born with head or facial deformities that, if left untreated, would almost certainly ruin their lives? Founded in 1989 by craniofacial surgery pioneer Dr. Kenneth Salyer, the WorldCF links families in great need with medical professionals on every continent to ensure that these children receive the excellent surgical and medical care they deserve, dramatically

improving their quality of life and restoring their dignity. The WorldCF needs your support to strengthen our network of multidisciplinary experts who work tirelessly to help every youngster who is afflicted with devastating craniofacial defects. With our unparalleled international expertise and medical resources, we transform these children’s faces and dramatically renew their lives.

Like those of us who work in this field, craniofacial patients remain particularly sensitive throughout their lives to the truth that each person deserves not just to exist but to thrive. In valuing individual lives and striving to make them better, we value all of humanity.
